Fengyuan Lacquer Art Museum
Address: 420, Taiwan, 台中市豐原區水源路1之1號 .The development of Taiwan's lacquer art dates back to the Japanese colonial period. Taichung City had two major forest farms, Daxue Mountain and Baxian Mountain, which provided the materials needed for lacquer craftsmanship. In addition, the Japanese had planned to expand the lacquerware industry in the central region and provide training. A lot of talented lacquer workers were recruited, and when various conditions were mature, it promoted the vigorous development of Taichung City's lacquerware industry. However, since the implementation of Taiwan's afforestation and forest protection policies and the prohibition of logging, there has been a shortage of Taiwan-produced wood. The carcass required for lacquerware production has been replaced by imported wood, and the production of the lacquerware industry is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. After the 77th year of the Republic of China, Taiwan's economic environment changed drastically. The operation of the lacquerware industry faced great difficulties, and Taiwan's lacquerware industry became increasingly depressed. As the "Hometown of Taiwan's Lacquer Art Industry", today's Fengyuan Huludun still has the historical value and natural environment resources to develop local characteristic "lacquerware" craftsmanship. The Fengyuan area currently has one of the few craftsmen in Taiwan who use lacquer to create art. Their mission is to continue Taiwan's lacquer art creation and revive Taiwan's lacquerware and even the lacquer art industry.
